MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically or generically named PDFs, suggesting a link farm designed to attract search engine traffic. One of these links, http://cityonloc.com/uploads/1/3/1/0/131070096/131070096.html#age+of+empires+2+portable+windows+10, is directly embedded in the document body. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM indicates a mass of external PDF links, and the presence of a 'Download Button' heuristic suggests a lure for users to click these links. The overall pattern points to a malicious SEO-driven distribution method.

Heuristics 5

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
